Su Qiao also read books when he was young and had some knowledge. It was precisely for this reason that when Su Wei just died, everyone in the Su family who was about to make a move was restrained and the Su family was allowed to observe the situation.
After Su Wei died, nothing happened, and the Su family fell into silence. It was just like this that Su Qiao came to persecute the Huang family now.
Unexpectedly, the emperor actually made an arrangement to support Su Qi. Why is there no news?
Why don't you know?
Su Qiao's rotten wood-like mind couldn't move and asked, "When did this happen?"
Huang smiled and said, "His Majesty came to Xiangyang today and took us orphans and widows to worship our husband. He also issued an edict for Qi'er to go to Luoyang to take up his post."
hiss!
Su Qiao took a breath.
His face, which was covered with age spots, looked extremely shocked. He couldn't understand why this happened suddenly. It was such bad luck.
The other people in the Su family, whether young or old, were all a little confused.
To them, the emperor was too lofty, indescribable, and not to be messed with. If you offend the emperor, you may be killed by the three clans, or you may experience the joy of killing the nine clans.
Su Qiao was in a dilemma for a while.
Fortunately, his age of more than seventy years has made him thick-skinned, so he said: "My grandson's wife, why didn't you tell me about Qi'er earlier? If you told me, everyone in the Su family would have to help, so why not?" Re-training people.”
"Don't worry, I will immediately take the people back to the clan and gather everyone in the ancestral hall to give Qi'er some support."
"We won't bother you any more and say goodbye!"
Su Qiao stood up, picked up the crutch and hurried out.
The other people from the Su family came and left just as quickly, and all disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.
call! !
Only then did Huang let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a cold sweat on his back.
This battle really made her a little nervous.
Su Yunxi came back from the side hall, frowned and said: "Sister-in-law, your treatment just now was too merciful, and your method was not strong enough."
"Isn't it enough?"
Huang blinked and said in confusion: "If we deal with it this way, they will all leave, isn't it okay?"
Su Yunxi shook his head and said: "Everyone is running for profit. If these old dogs are not beaten, they will not give up. You should have taken the opportunity to fight for control of the entire Su family's land resources."
"In the past, my eldest brother was in charge of the Su family. He was the governor of Jingzhou. He disdained and was unwilling to take care of it, so he handed over all the resources to the clan."
"It's different now."
"It's not that you have to take care of it. It's because you are relying on His Majesty's power to seize power and resources from the clan. These people will first be on guard against you and are afraid that you will rob them. Instead, they will ignore the interests of the Su family and will not come to seek help. Consider it the family’s land.”
"If you just want to keep your family's property from the beginning, these people will have no scruples and won't be afraid of you."
Su Yunxi said slowly: "Ask for the top, and you will get it from the bottom. If you look for it, you will get it from the bottom. This is the truth. You should be tougher."
Mrs. Huang sighed and said: "Your Majesty is right, it's all my fault that I didn't handle it well. But it's enough to scare these people for now. Qier went to Luoyang and when he grows up, he won't be afraid of these people anymore."
Su Yunxi's eyes turned, thoughtfully in her heart.
She stopped mentioning the matter and chatted with Mr. Huang, talking about her family's future arrangements, talking about Su Qi's trip to Luoyang, and asking Mr. Huang to live in Luoyang in the future.
In the afternoon, Su Yunxi left the Su family and headed towards the military camp.
Entering the Chinese army's tent, Su Yunxi saw Zhao Shanhou, pursed her lips and said, "Your Majesty!"
Zhao Shan saw Su Yunxi's serious expression and said with a smile: "What's going on? Su Qing's hatred has been resolved, why do you still look unhappy?"
Su Yunxi took advantage of the situation and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know how disgusting the Su family is. You left the Su family. Not long after, some old men from the Su family led a group of people to make trouble."
"Su Qiao, the old man of the Su family, found a high-sounding reason to say that his eldest brother was gone, so he wanted to train other members of the Su family and asked his sister-in-law to provide 300 acres of land."
"Actually, the eldest brother only has more than 380 acres of fertile land. If he takes away 300 acres at once, it will be difficult for my sister-in-law to raise Qi'er and maintain the family's expenses."
A cold light flashed across Zhao Shan's eyes.
The people of the Su family were really ignorant of current affairs and went to Su Wei's house to cause trouble.
Zhao Shan asked: "How will the follow-up be handled?"
Su Yunxi explained: "My sister-in-law told me about Qi'er and that His Majesty valued Qi'er, so these people reluctantly left. I think these people will definitely do something wrong."
Zhao Shan nodded and said, "Don't worry about this matter, leave it to me."
A smile bloomed on Su Yunxi's face and she said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
She doesn't have a good impression of people from the Su family.
These old guys rely on their elder brother to live a comfortable life with no worries about food and clothing, and to enjoy many benefits. Now that the eldest brother is gone and a group of people are taking advantage, Su Yunxi's anger has already risen.
Su Yunxi's style changed and she said, "Your Majesty has solved the eldest brother's matter, will you return to the court?"
Zhao Shan shook his head and said: "I won't go back for the time being. The weather is getting warmer in spring, so I will take advantage of the situation and send troops to attack Yangzhou Zhaogou."
Su Yunxi's eyes lit up, and she said softly: "How about I stay in Xiangyang and accompany Your Majesty?"
Zhao Shan smiled and said, "It's up to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Su Yunxi answered happily.
If Zhao Shan is there, she can stay forever. When Zhao Shanzhen goes to the front line to fight, she will look for an opportunity to see if she can go to the front line to accompany Zhao Shan.
This is a rare opportunity to be alone.
Su Yunxi chatted with Zhao Shan for a while, and then happily went to find a house. She needed a house to live alone instead of living in the Su's house. After all, Zhao Shan's identity was sensitive and it would be too troublesome to go to the Su's house.
After Su Yunxi left, Zhao Shan ordered someone to call Gao Yuan.
Gao Yuan has not yet finished dealing with the White Lotus Sect affairs in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and it will take some time before he leaves Xiangyang for Yangzhou. After he stood still, he said: "Slave Gao Yuan, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Zhao Shan briefly and concisely told the story of Su Qiao and others going to intimidate the Huang family, and ordered: "Take the people from Dongchang with you. Anyone who goes to the Su family to persecute will be punished with twenty military sticks for each one."
"Old slave understands!"
Gao Yuan respectfully agreed.
He paused for a moment, and when Zhao Shan stopped talking, he respectfully stepped back and quickly arranged for people from the East Factory to investigate. In the shortest possible time, they found out the group of Su Qiao who went to the Su family to cause trouble.
Gao Yuan led thirty people from Dongchang and left Xiangyang City with a killing stick. They left the city and went straight to Sujia Village where the Su family was located.
While Gao Yuan and his party were on their way quickly, Su Qiao took everyone back to the village and sat down in the clan ancestral hall.
Su Qiao is the senior one and sits at the top. He looked around at the people below and said slowly: "Today we went to the Huang family and were rejected. I think we can't get back the land of Su Wei's lineage. What do you think?"
"Third uncle, we can't be cowardly. Even if this little Su Qi goes to Luoyang, so what? It belongs to the Su family and must be taken back. The state has national laws and the family has family rules. They cannot be confused."
The slightly younger middle-aged man spoke.
His name is Su Yuan, but his seniority is not low. He is even a generation higher than Su Wei, and he is younger than Su Wei.
Su Yuan continued with a cold face: "If we don't take back the land under Su Wei's control today, how will we cultivate the clan? How will we seek benefits for the family? I think this matter cannot be let go."
As soon as these words came out, many people agreed, and their eyes were even more greedy.
The Grange is just the beginning.
By taking advantage of the farms controlled by Su Wei's lineage, he can go further in the future and seize more benefits, and even seize some shops by force.
Su Qiao was an old and cunning man. He listened to the people below with a faint smile on his face and nodded: "You are right, everything is for the clan and the development of the Su family."
Su Yuan agreed: "Third uncle is right, everything is for the clan."
"Third uncle, it's not good."
Just at this moment, someone hurried in and shouted: "Someone broke into the village and came towards the ancestral hall. It seems they are looking for you."
Su Qiao's eyes were sharp, he stood up and scolded: "How dare you be in such a panic? Who dares to break into my Su family village and the Su family ancestral hall? Don't you know that my Su family is the family of Su Wei, the governor of Jingzhou and the strong prince?" ?”
"Oh, so it's Su Wei's family? You are planning the Su Wei family's money and farm one by one. Why don't you consider relying on Su Wei?"
Gao Yuan's cold voice came in.
He stood at the gate of the ancestral hall, stared directly at Su Qiao, and scolded: "Old dog, who gave you the courage to stand in front of the Za family and not kneel down?"
